We went in aware we couldn't eat the chips. The waitress said she actually thought they had changed the chips and asked management who agreed they were fine. 20 mins later after we ate the chips someone was sent to let us know the chips had gluten in them. My kids were sick the next day. Don't trust the staff. Trust what you researched before arriving.

Absolutely wonderful experience. It was our first time ever at an On the Border, we received great service! The manager came out and spoke with us and went over my list of intolerances and made a dish perfect for me!

The menu/list really sucks. It's got a heading then a list of food. Everything is separated by a comma and not even listed properly so it was very confusing. Most foods weren't really for celiacs but good for those whose bodies can tolerate a little gluten. I'm GF but because of an ingredient that is removed when gluten is removed, so I could eat a lot on their menu.

Had dinner at On the Border last night. Was not to impressed with the gluten free menu. But as I was browsing the main menu, I asked our waiter about the Border Smart Chicken Fajita. He went back and got some answers for me. It came with onions, bell peppers and chicken. My concern was the corn tortillas. He also found out that the corn tortillas were made of only corn and lime. But did state that on the bag they came out of a manufacture company that does work with wheat. I went ahead and ordered the dish. Oh my that was so good and I had no issues with it at all. It also came with a side of black beans with nothing added to them, not even a thickening substance. So thumbs👍 to On the Border. I will be coming back for sure.

My daughter became violently ill after ordering off the gf menu. Of course there was a warning of cross contamination since it is not a dedicated celiac friendly kitchen. However this is the 1st time, ever that we have gone anywhere and had a problem after we let them know she has severe food allergies. I would use extreme caution before eating here.

got sick.ordered off wheat free menu, no gluten free menu available, waiter not knowledgeable, didn't know where the menu was til manager got it, didn't write our order down. now I paying for not being more assertive in ordering

I didn't get sick but the food was not very good and service was slow. I would eat here again if I had to. If you want "Mexican" food you are better off at the nearby Chipotle as the food tastes much better.

Tried to eat here in July 2016. The chips are fried in the same fryer with wheat foods. The server and whoever he spoke with were very confused about what is and what is not safe for celiac customers. I want to like On The Border but they haven't earned it yet. Instead try Matts Rancho Martinez just on the south side of the turnpike (190). Matts is very celiac friendly.

This is a restaurant that I have been to at least once on each of my trips to Atlanta over the past several years, when I visited my mother. I've not had any issues from my meals eaten there on any of these occasions. Their GF menu does warn against cross contamination, but I've yet had any issues. The GF menu doesn't appear to be updated with the New items that appear on their menu and it is a bit difficult to understand what you are looking at (as far as category on the menu). There are some good options. I've had the Queso Chicken Grill with cilantro rice and vegies. I'd enjoy more of the Queso sauce on the chicken and I think the flavors might be enhanced with some lime wedges. My BID disappointment is that the chips are NOT GF, so while others get to enjoy munching on them as we wait for our meal, I have to sit there and pass up one of the things I've always enjoyed about having Mexican food before learning I had Celiac. That's one reason for just three stars...they make no effort to provide any chips that we GF'ers need, and they don't have, or didn't offer, any other sauces that might be added to the food to enhance flavors. I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but the serving portion of the cilantro rice was meager at best, regardless of it being on a GF plate or not. This isn't one of my first choices when I'm in Atlanta, but it has been a safe choice so far.

I usually bring my own chips to On the Border but didn't have any this time. We asked the waiter if the chips were fried in a dedicated frier or if they were in the same oil as other things. He said they have two separate lines at this location, with the chips being fried by themselves in the back line. He confirmed with the manager that they were gluten free. I ate a few and waited a few minutes (usually I get a headache pretty quick if there is a problem). I didn't have a reaction. Really nice to not have to worry about bringing my own chips! Note: I am gluten intolerant, not celiac, so still might not be safe for some people.

My wife has Celiac Disease, and this location has always done right by us. The only knock on them is that the service is sometimes s bit slow, but we've always had a server who treated us respectfully.

GF menu consists of a page in a binder listing which menu items can be GF. Choices seemed pretty limited.
Chips are no longer fried separately so while there is an extensive list of GF dips, I'm not sure what you'd do with them.
Waitstaff didn't seem particularly knowledgable about gluten, but then also didn't appear to care about much at all.

Zach is the man. Made some great suggestions. I went with the fajitas with corn tortillas. The chips are fried in their own frier. Only complaint is I ordered steak and got chicken but ate it and lived it. Hendly was great as well. She was very sweet.

Be careful here. I have eaten here and walked away feeling fine other than feeling bloated from what I'm sure is tons of msg. But I have gotten sick here also. Not full blown sick, so maybe it was traces of wheat or possibly sharing a fryer. I had chips, salsa, and nachos that I asked for ground beef instead of fajita meat (this is how I ordered before GF). Since I don't always get sick here, I think the time I did that it was the ground beef (I am sure the taco seasoning was not GF or had traces of wheat in it). I would stick to ordering fajitas with NO seasoning (oil and salt only!).

I asked the manager why the chips were not gluten-free. The manager told me because other locations cook the chips in the same fryers as the wheat fried foods. Corporate does not make the chips gluten-free on the menu because of that. But the Lawrence location has a dedicated fryer for the chips because the main manager there has a friend with celiac disease.... so she accommodates basically her friend. She said other locations DO NOT have dedicated fryers.
